Aditi Balbir
Founder
V Resorts India

Bio

I am the sole woman founder of a hospitality business that has successfully scaled in a new segment and merged with a strategic partner. Having previously worked with marquee names such as Barings Private Equity, McKinsey & Company, etc. I have extensive hands-on experience with investment, scaling and startups. I started V Resorts in 2014. V Resorts, on its own, is not a typical startup in woman sector – it is not fashion, healthcare, lingerie, interior decoration, or content for that matter. V Resorts is into aggregation of premium properties (4-rooms to 30-rooms) at offbeat and emerging locations, where it aims to present curated properties for an experiential holiday. In that sense, it goes a step further beyond Airbnb and HomeAway by layering small properties with professional handling and creating seamless experience delivered by technology. The Venture has seen 4 successive rounds of capital raise from institutional investors like CDC, Seedfund and Avendus. We raised a total of $17 million of which $10 million was deployed in technology, manpower and operations. With several accolades such as UNWTO award for sustainability, CNBC TV 18- Young Business Women Awards, Women Economic Forum, BW 40 under 40 etc, and an extensive women network through various forums such as DWEN, Fortune MPW, Cherie Blair foundation, Massive incubator for women, ET women, UN women, PHD / FLO / Assocham, WEF, TiE etc, I intend to work towards supporting women entrepreneurs.
